Here at the Arlington Food Service Department, we are guided in our mission to exceed our customers' expectations by utilizing a process of continuous improvement. We are dedicated to providing the best available nutritional components and incorporating them into a wide variety of menu choices that offer great value to our students and staff. Our team is committed to preparing healthy yet interesting meals that surpass the dietary guidelines as defined by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, administered by the USDA.

If your student receives Free and Reduced Lunch already you still must fill out an application each school year to renew their participation in that program.

CEP will continue for several Arlington buildings!

We are pleased to announce that six of our buildings were approved by New York State to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision program which will provide free breakfast and lunch for students. Starting September 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025, the following buildings will participate: Arthur S May Elementary, Overlook Primary, Titusville Intermediate, West Road Intermediate, and Traver Road Primary schools, and Lagrange Middle School. This program provides for a nutritious breakfast and lunch each school day. However, the program does not include snacks and beverages. Snacks and beverages will still be available for students to purchase separately and are not free.

 A great way to ensure that kids get the healthy food they enjoy during the school year, even when schools are not in session. All kids are invited to drop by locations in Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Amenia/Millerton and Wappingers for a meal, activities, or both!

The summer meals opportunities in Dutchess County are collaborative efforts with various locations and hours.
